The report’s release has caught the attention of the college community. Newspapers at Northern Kentucky University (which yet again receives a "red light" from FIRE) and Penn State University (which has been upgraded to a "yellow light") are among the first papers to report on their schools’ ratings in the report. At Quinnipiac University, The Quinnipiac Chronicle takes note of the university’s red-light status and highlights a recent visit by FIRE’s Will Creeley.

Meanwhile, as Robert noted earlier in the week, an already widely reported controversy surrounding the proposed redesign of the teacher education curriculum at the University of Minnesota was accelerated by a feature article at FOXNews.com. Be sure to read the full article and the rest of FIRE’s coverage on this threat to freedom of conscience at the University of Minnesota. As always, we’ll keep you posted.
